JAKARTA - The Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will hold an ethics trial against the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Lili Pintauli Siregar. This trial is related to Lili's alleged involvement in the bribery case to stop the handling of the Tanjungbalai Mayor's case.

"The plan is for the inaugural trial tomorrow Tuesday (August 3, ed)," said member of the KPK Supervisory Board Syamsuddin Haris to reporters, Monday, August 2.

He said the court summons had been delivered to Lili. The trial will be held behind closed doors in accordance with KPK Supervisory Board Regulation Number 3 of 2020.

"The ethics trial will take place behind closed doors unless the verdict is read publicly," he said. Previously, KPK Deputy Chair Lili Pintauli Siregar was reported to the KPK Supervisory Board for two alleged ethical violations. First, he allegedly contacted and informed the handling of the alleged corruption case that ensnared the Mayor of Tanjungbalai M Syahrial.

Second, Lili is said to have used her position as KPK leader to pressure Tanjungbalai Mayor Syahrial. This was done to settle the staffing affairs of his sister-in-law Ruri Prihatini Lubis at the Tirta Kualo Tanjungbalai Drinking Water Company.

The alleged violation was reported by KPK investigators Novel Baswedan and Rizka Anungnata, as well as Director of the Commission for Inter-Commission and Institutional Network Development (PJKAKI) Sujanarko, who has now retired from his position.
